Ex-Tennessee Player Charged in Sex Sting

Former University of Tennessee offensive lineman Mack Crowder, 23, was arrested Tuesday night in Florida after allegedly sending lewd photos of himself to a person he thought was a teenager. Pinellas County sheriff’s authorities say the “teen” was actually an officer part of an online sex sting. In charging documents, sheriff’s officials allege Crowder “sought out and engaged in an online sexual conversation.” In multiple exchanges, Crowder reportedly sent four pictures of his sexual organ. He’s been charged with four counts of transmission of material harmful to minors and one count of violating Florida’s Computer Pornography and Child Exploitation Prevention Act. Crowder reportedly admitted that he sent the photos in interviews with police.
